Self explanitory. I feel pretty dirty about it, but i did.

EDIT: For the life of me i can't figure out how to work these polls, so if any mod can add one for me that'd be cool.

Defs not.

I pretty much forgot about the PP this arvo, I was filthy that he was paid the mark, and then kicked the goal.

 

Absolutely. Is this a rhetorical question. We did everything we could to lose today and still nearly won. To me that shows that our future may be alot brighter alot sooner than we think.

Haha I celebrated, felt kinda bad after though

Love it! The worst player in the AFL kicks a goal that delivers Scully to us - fantastic!

You should have heard the Tiges' supporters on the radio - they are soooo filthy that their team doesn't play for the future.

What a great day!!

 
I hate it but I cheered like we had won a final

me too

YES YES GOD YES!

Mere seconds earlier I was fuming, filthy, devastated that I've sat through 3 years of utter garbage and it's all going to mean nothing when we beat the worst team going around, in a meaningless game.

I had to look away when McMahon was kicking it. Figures that the biggest dud in their side, who couldn't hit a target all day, was going to line up for the victory. I was ecstatic when he won it.

Some people around me must have thought I was crazy, but they will all be very happy when Tom Scully is dominating the competition for the next 10 years.


no - I was not happy he kicked it!

I am sick of the tanking debate- that kick after the siren can't be orchestrated- we were trying to win although we did not have many number 1 team players in! Which means how bad are Richmond!

Haha I celebrated, felt kinda bad after though

I had a little boy maybe 8 years old crying behind me but his Dad was very pleased. What can you say to explain that it is all for the better. I hated being there but it was great to see Spencer chase and scrag, Nathan Jones do his in and unders, to watch the continual development of Stef Martin (until he went off)and Jetta and see that Newton left on the ground to make sure that it was harder for us to win!! Short term pain long term gain. :rolleyes:

I have long suffered from a smidgin of white-line-fever; when the siren went, I had an opportunity to reflect and investigate my feelings. I definitely wanted him to kick it. I am not at ease with myself still; that is football in this day and age.

yes.. i cheered.. but i feel really really dirty for it..

this tanking system sucks.. making supporters want their own team to lose.. bring on the lottery system

- we were trying to win

The players were, of course, and I'm glad they were. I thought many lesser lights today stood up and played really well, even when clearly out of position, or given ridiculous tasks.

But as a club, we were not trying to win.

Bailey and co. were orchestrating one of the biggest tanking jobs I have ever witnessed, and the best thing, we were in front when the siren went so nobody can accuse us of anything!

Even with a D grade side, if everyone played in their intended positions, we would have beat an almost full-strength Richmond.

We didn't, and now we are one loss closer to securing the two best kids in the country. That's why our future is bright, and Richmond's isn't.


I was devestated I thought he would miss forma set shot and was stoked he kicked it!

We are tanking it one week at a time!

Absolutely.

McMahon...ha! One of the worst players in the comp. Lucky to kick it, lucky to get the mark. About time things go our way, what a horrible thing to say.

I and about 10 others in the Bullring (I couldn't watch it from my seat) all cheered.

Horrible situation.

Yeah, I can understand what your saying, but you know what, that little boy, so disappointed & confused, briefly, will remember that in adversity their is a positive that can be taken & laughed with, even in the most adverse times.

Life, the double edged sword.


No!

I can't believe that anyone would have wanted that to go through.

I was so angry and uspset after the game, it was crazy.

The coaching staff should be ashamed of themeselves for all those stupid changes in positions.

If that's gonna happen again I'm not gonna go to the footy.

Worst game ever!!!!!

Was a terrible day, i hated being there. Feel terrible to have barracked against the dees

Of course I did. But that's not to say I enjoyed it.

As one very observant caller to SEN said, whatever Demetriou's position on tanking, if supporters are going to matches hoping their team loses, there's something wrong.

 

I didn't cheer but i wanted him to kick it. The AFL should be ashamed with themselves for putting fans like us in this position. Just get rid of the priority pick!

No!

I don't think I can add much to that apart from that I believe no draft pick in the world is worth supporters being happy about being beaten last kick of the day.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
